"Sizzle..."
Above the void, the Northern King's massive figure, as imposing as Mount Tai, slowly descended, hovering beside Xiao Yan's body. The Pill Lightning, not yet completely devoured, surged across the surface of his dark body, causing the surrounding void to crackle.
As the Pill Lightning dissipated, Xiao Yan finally felt relieved. The Emperor Grade Pill in the cauldron had finally been successfully refined!
"Call--"
Exhaling a long breath of pent-up air, Xiao Yan's face quickly turned pale, and his seated body swayed slightly. The extreme depletion of his Dou Qi and Spiritual Strength made it difficult for Xiao Yan to continue.
With a determined heart, Xiao Yan forced open his eyes, which were about to close, and bit his tongue hard. Instantly, a faint, sweet and metallic taste spread from his mouth. Taking advantage of the moment, Xiao Yan quickly took out an Emperor Grade Pill he had obtained from Hei Mu's Storage Ring and swallowed it without hesitation.
This Emperor Grade Pill was even more effective than the one given to Qin Zhong last time. In just a short while, Xiao Yan was able to regain some consciousness, and his depleted Dou Qi was also slightly restored.
Taking another deep breath, Xiao Yan turned his head slightly and looked at the Northern King, who stood motionless like an iron tower, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The power of the Pill Lightning became the best supplement for the Northern King to improve his strength. After completely absorbing the Pill Lightning, the Northern King's overall strength was now much higher than that of his master!
Moreover, under Xiao Yan's gaze, streaks of dark lightning were constantly flashing across the Northern King's jet-black body, refusing to dissipate.
These Pill Lightning can no longer be devoured; it seems they have become part of the Northern King's overall strength, contributing to the Northern King's power.
Xiao Yan had already witnessed the power of these Pill Lightning. Even Eight-Star Half-Emperor dared not easily touch them. This alone shows the damage caused by these Pill Lightning. Now that they are being used on the Northern King, even an ordinary Seven-Star Half-Emperor would probably not dare to confront them head-on!
The Northern King's body was already incredibly powerful; he was the most physically imposing of Ancient Void Dragon in the Beast Realm. Moreover, the North Dragon King had devoured the flesh and blood of countless Dragon Clan, making his physical body even more formidable. With the special refinement of Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames and the added blessing of the Pill Lightning drawn by this Emperor Grade Pill, the Northern King Northern King was now practically invincible among all the Half-Emperor level beings, except for old guys like Old Monster Hu who were at the Eight-Star Half-Emperor level!
Thus, the Northern King has become another great help to Xiao Yan!
Looking at the terrifying giant monster with a completely black body in front of him, Xiao Yan revealed a joyful smile. Originally, he did not think that the Northern King could withstand all those Pill Lightning. After all, the Northern King was just a puppet, essentially a killing machine. As long as it was a machine, the Northern King would always have a limit!
Xiao Yan was already very surprised to see that the Northern King's strength had broken through to the Half-Emperor level. However, at this moment, when Xiao Yan's palm slowly stroked the Northern King's dark body, he felt an extremely soft, cowhide-like sensation between his fingers, which surprised Xiao Yan even more.
Xiao Yan had crafted many puppets in the past, but his strength was only at the Dou Zun level. By then, the puppet's body was already extremely hard, feeling as cold and hard as a large block of iron.
The current state of the Northern King is a clear indication that his strength can still be improved, which has piqued Xiao Yan's interest. He wants to see where the Northern King's limits will be in the future!
As Xiao Yan pondered, a thought suddenly struck him. The giant black god before him seemed to receive a command, its massive body suddenly shifting, tilting, and unleashing a powerful whip kick that slammed into the void in front of the Northern King.
"Boom!"
With a terrifying sonic boom, the void a hundred feet in front of the Northern King shattered under the blow. This caused the expressions of the Half-Emperor standing in the void to change drastically. Even Gu Li and the others in the sky suddenly became solemn.
Although Xiao Yan's puppet is not as strong as theirs, such a powerful attack is something that, apart from them, very few people at the Half-Emperor level can withstand!
Unexpectedly, this puppet's power is already this formidable!
On the stands, Elder Xuan's lips twitched violently, speechless. Luo Jin, standing beside him, narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Northern King, a glint of light flashing in them.
Compared to the others who valued Xiao Yan's puppet, Luo Jin was more curious about the technique Xiao Yan used to create it. After all, once he had that technique, obtaining the puppet would be a piece of cake.
However, after a moment, Luo Jin shook his head helplessly, dismissing his plan. It wasn't worth it to try and find out Xiao Yan's secrets for the sake of a puppet.
"Cough cough..."
Suddenly, a violent coughing sound came from the Void Plaza. Everyone looked up and saw Mo Zhai slowly standing up from the stone platform. With his still pale face, he slowly swept across the entire area. However, there were not many people left in the Void Plaza at this moment, because most of the people who had been Pill Lightning earlier had already landed in the Ancient Wilderness City.
"Cough cough..."
Another violent coughing fit subsided, and in the void above, Old Monster Hu and Yan Bing, who were confronting Gu Li and the other two, quickly returned to Mo Zhai's side. Now that they had completely fallen out with Xiao Yan and the others, if Xiao Yan took the opportunity to use his puppet to attack Mo Zhai, they were afraid it would be too late.
Mo Zhai ignored these concerns and instead focused his gaze once again on the Emperor Grade Pill, Sumeru Pill, which had already been refined in the medicine cauldron in front of him.
Although the Emperor Pill has been successfully refined, there is still one more thing that requires the assistance of these two powerful individuals. Otherwise, even if the Emperor Pill is successfully refined, it will ultimately be of no use.
"Hehe, you two, let's not worry about them for now. After all, it's during the Alchemist Grand Meeting, and they wouldn't dare to make a move rashly. I hope you can focus your attention on the matter at hand..."
Upon hearing this, the two immediately understood. Old Monster Hu's gaze swept over Gu Li and the other two, while Yan Bing's icy gaze fell on Xiao Yan, causing the latter to frown again. Yan Bing's killing intent indeed gave Xiao Yan a strange feeling.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Mo Zhai slammed his palm down on the medicine cauldron in front of him. As the palm struck, the lid of the cauldron opened, and the much-anticipated Emperor Grade Pill slowly floated out, hovering in the void, standing quietly.
Upon seeing this, Mo Zhai's expression suddenly turned cold. With a wave of his hand, he grabbed at the Sumeru Pill with his claw!
This scene stunned everyone below. Judging from Mo Zhai's actions, it seemed as if he was afraid the Emperor Pill Emperor Pill would escape. He grabbed it with his claw, wasn't he afraid of crushing it?
"Boom!"
The next moment, a loud bang resounded in the void, and Mo Zhai's figure was immediately pushed back. If it weren't for Old Monster Hu catching him behind him, he would have fallen off the stone platform.
When everyone looked up, their faces paled in shock. Where the Emperor Grade Pill Emperor Pill stood, it had vanished, replaced by a fellow who looked exactly like Mo Zhai!
